Description
- The present invention relates to a signal receiving method based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and in particular, to a method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM, which estimates and adjusts Channel Status Information (CSI), newly calculates CSI by applying a weight value, and enhances the reception performance of a receiver by applying the calculated CSI to a received signal.
- In the case of a multi-carrier transmission scheme based on OFDM, the effects of transmission channels on carriers that are allocated for each frequency differ by carriers. Due to this reason, a receiving side estimates each channel status with a signal that is transmitted through each carrier, and represents the estimated information as a certain value to refer to the information as CSI. Since the usability of the CSI estimated by the receiving side through the above-described operation is diverse, a method has been proposed where in the case of wireless communication, a receiving side backward transmits CSI to a transmitting side and the transmitting side may enable the transmission of a transmitted signal that is adjusted on the basis of the back transmitted CSI, and when it is impossible to retransmit CSI like wireless broadcasting, received information may more accurately be decoded by using the estimated CSI in adjusting the error of a received signal. The present invention proposes a method that requires a smaller memory capacity and simpler hardware configuration than the existing methods, in a case where a receiving side uses a received signal as additional adjustment information for decoding in the above-described method for using CSI.
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a typical decoder transfer apparatus for CSI and soft-decision value of the received signal. As a method of using CSI for more accurate decoding, a method is used which transfers estimated CSI values and soft-decision values of the received signal to a decoder and applies them to the decoder. -
- To provide a more detailed description on the typical technologies, for example, a method will be described below for enhancing the decoding performance of a viterbi decoder well-known as a representative decoder by using CSI.
- To provide a description on the internal structures of most typical receivers for easy understanding, the viterbi decoder is not disposed at the direct rear end of a soft-decision block for an actually-received signal but is disposed at the rear ends of several function blocks based on a memory.
- The above-described typical technology should process one or more function blocks using memory devices such as a de-interleaver that exists between the viterbi decoder and a soft-decision block to carry over the received signal and CSI values to the viterbi decoder. In this case, an additional memory is required for storing CSI values, and moreover, the speed of a system clock for transmitting the received signal and CSI values should be higher.
- Furthermore, the typical method cannot appropriately perform adjustment prior to applying the CSI values to the corresponding soft-decision values for better decoding performance.
- Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM, which applies CSI to soft-decision values of the received signal and thus can more enhance performance than a method applied to a typical decoder even without using an additional memory and the increase of a system clock speed.
- The present invention also provides a method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM, which appropriately perform adjustment suitable for a soft-decided and received signal in applying pre-estimated CSI to a decoder, thereby more enhancing performance and enabling adaptive application based on the change of a channel status.
- According to an aspect, there is provided a method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM, including: performing a first operation of calculating a new second Channel Status Information (CSI) value CSINEW for enhancing reliability of a received first CSI CSIRECEIVED, and applying a weight value to the calculated new second CSI value CSINEW to calculate a third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED; performing a second operation of applying the third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED having the weight value to a first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION of an actually-received signal to calculate a second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI adjusted; and performing a third operation of restrictedly controlling an output range of the calculated second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI to finally obtain a third soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded calculated.

- A method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM according an embodiment of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to
FIGS. 2 to 4 . -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram for describing a method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , a channelstatus estimation block 110 estimates a first CSI value. A CSIvalue adjustment block 111 calculates a second CSI value CSINEW that is obtained by adjusting the first CSI value CSIRECEIVED, and a third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED to which a weight value is given. A soft-decision block 102 calculates a first soft-decision value from received I and Q signals that are demodulated into an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature-phase (Q) signal through a signal synchronization andequalization block 101. A CSI value and soft-decision value combiner 120 applies the third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED which is calculated by the CSIvalue adjustment block 111 to the soft-decided first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION of an actually- received signal to calculate a second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI, restrictedly controls the output range of the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI to finally obtain a third soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded, and transmit the third soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded to a channel decoder. - First, a scheme of transferring estimated CSI which is applied to an embodiment of the present invention will be defined and determined.
- The CSI value may be a value from a minimum of 0 to an arbitrary number N having a maximum of positive value. Herein, it is assumed that the estimated value of the best channel status is 0, and the estimated value of the worst channel status is N. However, the application of CSI that is described in an embodiment of the present invention is irrelevant to the definition, which is merely used for easy representation and understanding.
- Furthermore, since actual hardware configuration transfers information by using only a binary number, actual configuration uses only positive and negative integers. By this reason, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on positive and negative integers.
- Based on such an assumption, a CSI value is applied to the actual soft-decision value of a received signal by using received CSI through a method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- The CSI
value adjustment block 111 adjusts the first CSI value CSIRECEIVED that is received from the channelstatus estimation block 110 and applies a weight value to calculate the second CSI value CSINEW. -
FIG. 3 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an operation which adjusts CSI and applies a weight value in the CSIvalue adjustment block 111 ofFIG. 2 . The CSIvalue adjustment block 111 performs a CSI adjustment value applying operation that adjusts the first CSI value CSIRECEIVED that is received from the channelstatus estimation block 110 and a CSI weight value applying operation that applies a weight value to the first CSI value CSIRECEIVED. - First, the reliability of the first CSI value CSIRECEIVED is unclear, and thus for controlling this, the CSI adjustment value applying operation re-controls a CSI value by adding a certain amount to the current first CSI value CSIRECEIVED or subtracting a certain amount from the current first CSI value CSIRECEIVED. As a result, the new second CSI value CSINEW is calculated through Equation (1) below.
where CSINEW is a newly-calculated second CSI value, CSIRECEIVED is a first CSI value that is actually received from the channelstatus estimation block 110, and CSIADJUST is an arbitrary value. Since the arbitrary value may be appropriately selected through experiment, detailed description on the optimal method for this will be omitted. - Next, the CSI weight value applying operation enlarges or reduces the newly-calculated second CSI value SINEW to an appropriate size. In this way, the CSI weight value applying operation may control a weight value that is applied to a CSI value depending on requirements. As a result, the third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED applying a weight value is calculated through Equation (2) below.
where third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED is a value that is obtained by multiplying the second CSI value CSINEW calculated through Equation (1) and a weight value CSIWEIGHT. Herein, the weight value CSIWEIGHT is an arbitrary value. Since the arbitrary value may be appropriately selected through experiment, detailed description on this will be omitted. - In this way, an operation is divided into an operation where the CSI value and soft-decision value combiner 120 applies the calculated third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED to the soft-decided first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION of an actually-received signal to calculate the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI, and an operation that restrictedly controls the final output range of the calculated second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI to control the third soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded Calculated.
- First, as expressed in Equation (3), an operation of calculating the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI applies the calculated third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED to a first soft-decision value of a received signal that is calculated by the existing soft-decision block.
- Next, an operation of restrictedly controlling the final output range of the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI applying the third CSI value CSIWEIGHTED is expressed as Equation (4) below.
where T has a value where probability that a soft-decided value by Equation (3) is determined as 0 is the same as probability that the soft-decided value by Equation (3) is determined as 1, and K has the same value as T but may be set as a value different from T depending on requirements and indicates an arbitrary integer. Since the optimal method of each value may be selected through experiment, detailed description on this will be omitted. -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart applying Equation (4). The first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION is compared with T. The second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is compared with K, and the output limit of the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is determined according to the compared result. - That is, when the first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION is greater than or equal to T and the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is less than or equal to K (i.e., SSOFTDECISION ≥ T and SSOFTDECISION+CSI ≤ K), the final output SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded of the second soft-decision value is determined as K. When the first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION is greater than or equal to T and the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is greater than K (i.e., SSOFTDECISION ≥ T and SSOFTDECISION+CSI > K), the final soft-decision output value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded is determined as the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI.
- On the other hand, when the first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION is less than T and the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is greater than K (i.e., SSOFTDECISION < T and SSOFTDECISION+CSI > K), the final Output SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded of the second soft-decision value is determined as "K-1". When the first soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION is less than T and the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI is less than or equal to K (i.e., SSOFTDECISION < T and SSOFTDECISION+CSI ≤ K), the final soft-decision output value SSOFTDECISION+CSI_Bounded is determined as the second soft-decision value SSOFTDECISION+CSI.
- The method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM according to an embodiment of the present invention applies CSI to a soft-decision value of the received signal and thus can more enhance performance than a method applied to a typical decoder even without using an additional memory and the increase of a system clock speed.
- The method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM according to an embodiment of the present invention appropriately perform adjustment suitable for a soft-decided and received signal in applying pre-estimated CSI to a decoder, thereby more enhancing performance and enabling adaptive application based on the change of a channel status.
- The method for processing received signal by applying channel status information based on OFDM according to an embodiment of the present invention restricts the final output range of a soft-decision value of the received signal to which CSI is applied, and thus can prevent an error that may be caused by the application of an actual CSI value. Moreover, a soft-decision value applying CSI can be applied irrespective of the kinds of decoders.
- As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalents of such metes and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
